Louis led her out of the infirmary.
She heard Thomas fall in behind them, but he stayed out of her line of sight. Smart man. In a small way she regretted behaving so violently, but she wasn't in the best of moods.
"Delia!" she called, remembering something vital to the reveal of the resistance.
"Yes, Milady?" Delia scurried to catch up with them.
"You hid the letters, right?" Kalysta asked.
"Yes."
"Grab them for me, please."
"Of course."
Delia went the other way.
Louis continued leading Kalysta toward the council chambers. She knew the way, but her mind was in jumbles. No single thought stayed in her mind long and she certainly couldn't concentrate.
Kalysta stopped before they reached the doors.
"Come on, Princess, there's no point in putting it off," Louis encouraged, pulling on her arm gently.
"I need the letters." Kalysta didn't budge.
"Very well," he sighed.
Kalysta made sure to face toward the door and ignore the King standing behind her. Louis did not share the same sentiment.
"Thomas, I think this will go better if I do all the talking," he offered quietly.
"Does my low opinion of Elysian royalty not lend itself well to making friends?" Thomas gasped, feigning surprise.
Kalysta felt her shoulders tighten as she contained her building anger. Everything he said was intended to enrage her further most likely. She wanted nothing more than to hit him again, but he would be on his guard for sure now. One could only get away with striking a King so many times too. He might not be so tolerant if she tried it again.
"Just stay silent unless I call on you specifically, please," Louis sighed. "You have a purpose for being here and it is most definitely not to tell Jonathan how you feel about him."
